On the sixth floor, Zhu Yanyi was curious about what everyone was doing. The first thing she saw was the men in the study, all looking like deep thinkers. It was quite amusing to watch.
Yan Aohan had noticed her coming down the stairs. He stood up and walked over. "Are you tired?" He couldn’t enter her Ruyi Space, but he knew time flowed differently inside. Four hours had passed outside, meaning many days had likely passed within.
"I’m fine, not tired at all." Zhu Yanyi saw the concern in Yan Aohan’s eyes. She smiled and handed him a large box. "This is the antidote. It’s a liquid. One drop mixed in water can cure a hundred people. This batch can save tens of millions. Don’t use it all up at once. If you run out, come find me. I can make more."
Yan Aohan passed the box to Old Pan and said, "Remember what my wife said."
"Yes, we remember," Old Pan replied first.
Zhan Diting nodded too. "Little sister-in-law, rest assured, we’ve got it." He turned to Yan Aohan. "Boss, we won’t stay long. Saving lives is urgent. We must go."
"Go ahead," Yan Aohan nodded, understanding the weight of their mission.
Zhan Diting turned back to Zhu Yanyi. "Sister-in-law, next time we visit, we’ll come see you and the Boss."
"Safe travels," Zhu Yanyi smiled and waved. She didn’t rush them away, nor did she demand they stay.
Zhan Diting and Old Pan nodded slightly, then bid farewell and left the residential compound.
Yan Aohan watched them go, his arm around Zhu Yanyi’s waist. After closing the door, he asked, "Are you tired? If so, take a bath and rest. I told you to relax these days, yet you did so much today."
"It’s just making antidotes. Not a big deal," Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Besides, I could do it, so I did. If I couldn’t, I wouldn’t force it. I drank plenty of Spirit Spring water and ate space fruits. My internal energy is at the early stage of Gangjin. Four days and nights in the space felt like nothing."
Hearing this, Yan Aohan’s expression darkened. Four days and nights. Even though only four hours passed outside, she had been working inside for that long. He knew she was telling the truth, but he hated seeing her so exhausted. He lifted her into a princess carry. "Come on. I’ll take you to sleep."
"I really am not tired," Zhu Yanyi hurriedly said.
"Not tired? Then let’s do something meaningful," Yan Aohan looked at her and suddenly said.
Zhu Yanyi paused. Well, I guess I am tired. Otherwise, she might keep teasing her for a long time. She quickly closed her eyes. "I’m tired. Let’s sleep."
The corner of Yan Aohan’s mouth twitched up. His eyes softened with tenderness. He knew he wouldn’t push her today, especially after yesterday. Although her body was strong, it still had limits compared to him. He didn’t dare to exhaust her daily. But if she had insisted she wasn’t tired, he would have taken it as a privilege.
Zhu Yanyi thought she might not sleep, but Yan Aohan’s embrace was so warm that she soon fell into a deep slumber.
She slept until dawn. When she woke up, Yan Aohan was changing into sportswear. Seeing her awake, he smiled. "Get dressed. Let’s go for a run and eat breakfast."
Zhu Yanyi smiled brightly at Yan Aohan, stretched, and got out of bed. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, changed into sportswear, and then they went out for their run.
After running, eating breakfast, and returning to shower and change, Yan Aohan escorted Zhu Yanyi to work.
Once Zhu Yanyi was at work, Yan Aohan stayed in his practice chamber reading newspapers. He wanted to rest and spend time with his wife.
Zhu Yanyi currently had only one patient, Liu Jun. So, she still had daily rounds. Otherwise, she wouldn’t need to come to the hospital.
After checking Liu Jun’s pulse, Zhu Yanyi said to Lu Bing, "She’s recovering well. She can be discharged on schedule." She then asked Liu Jun, "Did you pass gas yesterday?"
"Yes, I did," Liu Jun said, a bit embarrassed.
Zhu Yanyi nodded. She turned to Lu Bing. "She can eat liquid food now, like porridge or soup. But don’t add ginseng or angelica. Keep it light. If you want something nutritious, make old duck soup. But remember, absolutely no goose meat or goose soup."
Lu Bing wrote everything down carefully and nodded. "Thank you, Little Divine Doctor. I’ll remember. After I help him change, I’ll go home and make the soup."
Zhu Yanyi smiled and nodded. "Alright. I won’t disturb you. Call me if you need anything."
Lu Bing nodded and escorted Zhu Yanyi out of the ward. She returned to help Liu Jun bathe. "You’re so lucky to have met the Little Divine Doctor. Otherwise, I don’t know how we would have managed."
"A-Bing, you’ve suffered because of me. I’ll treat you much better in the future," Liu Jun said gratefully, looking at her wife. She hadn’t enjoyed life since marrying her, and now she was worried sick for her.
Lu Bing smiled. "Good that you know." After helping her change, she went to the communal washroom to wash her clothes, hung them to dry, and tidied up. Seeing Liu Jun looked tired, she said, "Rest now. I’ll go home to make soup. If you need to urinate and I’m not back, press the call button. The nurse will come."
"Okay, I remember. Go ahead," Liu Jun nodded seriously.
Lu Bing tucked the blanket around her, then took her thermos and went home. She bought an old duck at the market and spent nearly two hours making the soup. She poured it into her thermos and headed to Kyoto Hospital.
Just as she arrived at the hospital entrance, before even entering, she saw an old woman pacing back and forth.
There were many people coming and going at the hospital entrance, but Lu Bing noticed this woman because she looked so focused, as if searching for someone.
Lu Bing wasn’t nosy, but she believed good deeds bring good rewards. Helping others could accumulate karmic merit for her husband, so she was always willing to do one extra good deed each day.
